LEARN Behavioral, a national leader in autism treatment with a network of applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers across the country, congratulates Rebecca Thompson, PhD, BCBA-D, who has been awarded for her contributions to applied behavior analysis (ABA) in Wisconsin.

Dr. Thompson’s tenure with the renowned ABA provider Wisconsin Early Autism Project (WEAP) and LEARN Behavioral spans more than 25 years. A licensed psychologist, Dr. Thompson holds a board certified behavior analyst-doctoral (BCBA-D) credential.

Dr. Thompson began her career at WEAP in diagnostics and the delivery of ABA services and, over the years, advanced to Director of Clinical Services. In the past two and a half years, Dr. Thompson has led state and federal government affairs efforts as Vice President of Advocacy at LEARN Behavioral.

Along with her leadership roles at WEAP and LEARN Behavioral, Dr. Thompson holds numerous public policy roles, including President of the Wisconsin Autism Providers Association (WAPA) and as an appointed member of the Wisconsin Governor’s Autism Council. She is also President of Illinois Providers for ABA Access and Quality (IPAAQ) and Chair of Massachusetts Providers for ABA Access and Quality (MPAAQ).

“During her career at WEAP and LEARN Behavioral, Rebecca has made a tremendous impact, and we are delighted with the policies and precedent set for LEARN Behavioral and the ABA community,” said Justin Funches, President of LEARN Behavioral’s autism provider network. “Rebecca’s commitment to helping children with autism achieve their full potential, along with her state and federal advocacy, has made a real difference in the lives of countless children and families.” 

Dr. Thompson has recently accepted the position of Director of Government Affairs for the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP), a nonprofit trade association of more than 475 autism service provider organizations from all 50 states and multiple countries. LEARN Behavioral is a member and sponsor of CASP. 

“We congratulate Rebecca on her award, and wish her all the best as she steps into an expansive role at CASP supporting public policy across all 50 states.
